ABSTRACT:
A meatal pad for use with a catheter applied to a urinary tract for drainage thereof. The pad comprises a cylindrically shaped block of foam material coated on on longitudinal end with covering of silicone, latex, or polyurethane. The pad and coating have a longitudinal bore therethrough, which has a slit radially directed therefrom, to facilitate mating of said pad with a catheter shaft. The pad may be treated with an anti-bacterial compound, and the uncoated pad is directed towards the meatus of the catheterized patient, thus minimizing bacterial growth thereat.
